We lost power yesterday and today so I had time to sit back and read. I went with Zombies, Frankenstein, and Dracula.
I read Feed which is the best zombie book I've read so far. It does a great job explaining the plague instead of ignoring the cause and more importantly it shows mankind adapting and living in a world of the zombie.
I also read a pair of Saberhagen books that deal with the monster's side of classic stories. It was the Frankenstein Papers and the Vampire Tape. They were okay, nothing great.
